I can confirm that it does this with a clean build of qt-copy (3.0.3)
kdelibs, kdebase and kdeaddons/konq-plugins as well. Sometimes it
leaks 4MB per page (went from www.tweakers.net to
www.tweakers.net/nieuws/21064). Stilborne on irc saw this as well with his
build from this morning, he tried debugging it and found one in a <div>
that he thought was leaking 400 kb but i forgot to save that line. So i
think this is a serious showstopper even though these pages may be the
only ones that trigger the bug in khtml/kjs/whatever. My html and
javascript knowledge is so bad that i cant debug this any further :(

Hope this can be resolved somehow before 3.0,

Otto
